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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Merrill 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 individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages 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 specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
