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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Townsend have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
