Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Erie, IL.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Erie offer intensive 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 people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
