Short-Term Drug Rehab

There are many short-term drug rehab programs in Georgia all of which have different characteristics.  For example, there is residential and hospital inpatient. There are 12-step based programs, faith based, holistic or bio-physical, dual-diagnosis, group based, individualized, women only, men only, etc.  Choosing the right short-term drug rehab program that fits your specific needs can be a long, exhausting, and frustrating process without professional help.  Call us or fill out the form below and we will provide you with all your short-term drug rehab and treatment options that best fits your specific situation and short-term treatment needs.

Short-term drug rehab programs keep patients up to 30 days. Most of these short-term programs focus on medical stabilization, abstinence, and lifestyle changes. Staff members are primarily medical professionals and trained counselors. Once primarily for alcohol abuse treatment, these programs expanded into drug abuse treatment in the 1980s. With the reduction of medical insurance coverage for short-term drug rehab programs, time frames for treatment have tended to lessen.

Although research has proven that long-term residential drug rehab is more effective in overcoming addiction, long-term treatment is not for everyone. Short-term drug rehab, lasting 30 days is very effective as well. For many addicts, all that is required for recovery is a dry out period and aftercare consisting of meetings, support groups and possibly some outside counseling. Generally short-term drug rehab is recommended for addictions that have been severe enough to require removal of the addict from familiar surroundings, but not quite so severe as having done extensive damage to the brain over a several year period. There is not one answer for all cases of addiction, so it is important to have all the information about the addiction and the type of short-term drug rehab center that is best before making a decision.

Short Term Drug Treatment

One of the most commonly known forms of drug rehab is short-term drug treatment. In short-term drug rehab, individuals will reside at the treatment center while receiving intensive care through counseling, therapy and support group meetings. Often the therapy and counseling takes place on both an individual and group basis. Social and recreational activities for those in the program is also common. The average stay at a typical short-term drug rehab center is 30 days before program completion. This is considered to be short-term drug treatment.

Sometimes all it really takes is a short-term drug rehab center to put someone back on the right path to kicking their drug addiction once and for all. If you are really serious about changing, and dedicated to taking the steps necessary to kicking your drug addiction, a short-term drug rehab can drive you back to the positive changes and steps necessary to get you on the road to recovery. If you do not think a short stay will meet your needs, however, a longer term program is always encouraged.

Because drug addiction is typically a chronic disorder characterized by occasional relapses, a short-term, one-time treatment can often prove to be unsufficient and more than likely the addict may have to go through treatment again. When the addict is thrust back into the harsh realities of life’s daily routines, the shaky foundation of a short-term program can take a toll that leads right back to where he or she started.

If there has been a pattern of completing 30 days and returning home to almost immediate relapse, it may be a good choice to go with long-term drug rehab in the future. Often 30 day short-term drug rehab serves as a "dry out" period, where addicts have just enough time to get clean and temporarily free themselves from addiction, but not enough time or commitment to embrace the meaning of recovery and truly understand the disease of addiction. One of the biggest parts of drug rehab is learning the tools neccessary to abstain from future drug or alcohol use, despite whatever pressures, stresses, or desires may be present.

What Type of Treatment is Best For Me?

Deciding which treatment is best for you can depend on a number of factors including:

• The drug of addiction
• The length of addiction
• The degree of addiction
• Co-occurring disorders
• Time commitments
• Health problems
• Drug history and previous treatments

The decision is a personal one but if, for example, you have undergone certain treatments before and they didn't resonate with you then you will know to try something different. A common mistake that people make is choosing the simplest, easiest method of detoxification with little or no rehabilitation. Breaking the physical addiction to drugs and alcohol is important, but only part of the equation. Sustaining an abstinent life without healing the mental and spiritual wounds that originally led to substance abuse is near to impossible.
