Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Washington, MO.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option and for people who can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Washington have 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 go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many individuals may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with clients who only get short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
