Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who cannot commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in St. Louis have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
