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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Edwards have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
