Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Nora Springs, IA.

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Nora Springs have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
