Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Ponce De Leon, MO.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Ponce De Leon offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center 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.
