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

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Brimson have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
