Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Brownsville, MN.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Brownsville have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that many people 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 fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
