Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Elma, IA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Elma offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
