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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Audubon have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
