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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Meriden have 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 services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that many individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
