Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Rockaway Beach, MO.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Rockaway Beach have 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 clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
