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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in Skidmore offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that 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 timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
