Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Athens, WI.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Athens have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling 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 experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab center is that people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with clients who only receive short term rehabilitation . Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
