Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Kensington, MN.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Kensington offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably 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 intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
