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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Bridgewater offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 and alcohol rehab facility is that many clients 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 treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
