Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Houston, MO.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Houston offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
