Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Wakefield, NE.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Wakefield have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center 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 timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
