Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - St. Charles, MO.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehab.

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

Relapse rates are greater with people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program 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.
