Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Kensington, MD.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Kensington have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation 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 completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
