Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Wolf Island, MO.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Wolf Island offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
