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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Crofton have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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