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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in St. Elizabeth offer 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 experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that many clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among individuals who only receive short term treatment . Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
