Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Alberta, MN.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Alberta have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many clients 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 specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
