Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Algoma, WI.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Algoma offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that many people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only receive short term treatment . People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
