Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Richmond, MO.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

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

Relapse rates are higher with clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
