Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Forest Hill, MD.

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

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Forest Hill have intensive 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 people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
