Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Bellingham, WA.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Bellingham offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
