Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Elk River, ID.

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because treatment 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 rehabilitation programs in Elk River offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that clients 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 rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
