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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Essex offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only receive short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
