Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - New London, MO.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in New London offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among clients who only receive short term rehab . Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
