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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment 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 alcohol and drug rehab programs in Alexander offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with individuals who only go through short term treatment . People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
