Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - University Heights, IA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in University Heights offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab center is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
