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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Mercer offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with clients who only get short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab 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 transition to a sober lifestyle.
