Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Howard, OH.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
