Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - West Des Moines, IA.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in West Des Moines have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
