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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in St. Albans have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases 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 individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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