Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - St. Peters, MO.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in St. Peters have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab program is that many people may still be in the beginning stages 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 timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
