Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Petersburg, MI.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Petersburg have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab program is that individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
