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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in O Fallon have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling 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 services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

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