Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Balfour, ND.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Balfour offer 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 experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
