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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Wheaton offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

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