Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - St. Joseph, MI.

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in St. Joseph have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
