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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Westgate have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
