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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option and for people who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Harpers Ferry offer 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 experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with individuals who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
