Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Prince Frederick, MD.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Prince Frederick have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically 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 rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
