Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Festus, MO.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Festus have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab program is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

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