Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Crossroads, NM.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in Crossroads offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab center is that people may still be experiencing the beginning 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 more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
