Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Alexandria, MN.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Alexandria offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
