Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Des Peres, MO.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Des Peres offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

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