Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Laredo, MO.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Laredo have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
