Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Sturgeon, MO.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Sturgeon have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
