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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Hopkinton offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that clients 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 fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive 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 transition to a sober lifestyle.
