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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Merrill have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that clients may still be in 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 rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with individuals who only get short term rehab . People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
