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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Onalaska have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
