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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Portsmouth have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with people who only receive short term treatment . People who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
