Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Afton, IA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Afton have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
