Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Calais, ME.

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Calais offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically 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 alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
