Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - George, IA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in George have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that 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 treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

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