Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - West Alton, MO.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in West Alton offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
