Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Houstonia, MO.

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

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Houstonia have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially 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 treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
