Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Golden Valley, MN.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Golden Valley offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

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