Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Charlotte Hall, MD.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Charlotte Hall have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
