Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - St. Maries, ID.

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

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in St. Maries 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 experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
