Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Wheelersburg, OH.

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

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Wheelersburg offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling 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 experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
