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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Alexandria have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment 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 drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that clients 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 rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
