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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Ashland offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
