Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - St. Mary, MO.

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

Most short-term drug rehab programs in St. Mary offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab program is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
