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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Urbandale offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that individuals 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 rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
