Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Laclede, MO.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Laclede offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation 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 maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
