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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Polk have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility 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.
