Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Polk City, IA.

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Polk City have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients 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 center is that clients may still be in 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 rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

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