Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Marengo, IA.

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

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Marengo offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

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