Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - San Antonio, NM.

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

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in San Antonio offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab program is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with people who only go through short term rehab . People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive 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.
