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

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 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 people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
