Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Shawnee Mission, KS.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Shawnee Mission offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab facility is that individuals may still be in 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 specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

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