Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - North St. Paul, MN.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in North St. Paul have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only receive short term rehab 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 rehabilitation facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
