Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Medina, ND.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Medina offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that many individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
