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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in St. Marys offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that many individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with individuals who only get short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
