Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - St. Paul, IA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab centers in St. Paul have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
