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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Lanham have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
