Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Atlanta, MI.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Atlanta have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many 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 treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only receive short term rehabilitation . Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
