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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Patterson offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that many people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
