Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Galveston, TX.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Galveston have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that people may still be in 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 rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only get short term rehab . People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
