Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Alton, MO.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Alton have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only go through short term treatment . People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
