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

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

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

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
