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

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

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Mellen offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab facility is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
