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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in St. Paul have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
