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

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Burien have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases 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 more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
