Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Alton, KS.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Alton offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
