Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Chevy Chase, MD.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Chevy Chase offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among individuals who only get short term treatment . People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
