Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Augusta, IL.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Augusta have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages 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 clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
