Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ralston, IA.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Ralston have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
