Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Granite City, IL.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Granite City offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
