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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Edgewater offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that many clients 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 fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among clients who only go through short term rehab . Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
