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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Mediapolis offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab 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 stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

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