Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Agency, MO.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Agency have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. 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 stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
