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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Merrifield have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling 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 rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab center is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only go through short term treatment . Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
