Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Decorah, IA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Decorah have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as 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 and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
