Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Edwardsville, IL.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Edwardsville offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be experiencing 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 specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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