Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in La Crosse have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are greater with people who only receive short term treatment . People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
