Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Gilchrist, TX.

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Gilchrist have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that many people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
