Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Merrillan, WI.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

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

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
