Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Altoona, WI.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, 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 clients who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Altoona offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
