Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Nelson, MN.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Nelson have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab center is that many individuals 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 treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only receive short term treatment 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 center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
