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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Dickerson offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation 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.
