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

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in St. Lucas have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
