Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - St. Augustine, IL.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in St. Augustine have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short 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 alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
