Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Fairfax, MO.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Fairfax have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that many people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation 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.
