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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Dowell have intensive 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 experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
