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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Rochester offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
