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

Short Term drug and alcohol 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 rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Northfield have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that people may still be in the initial stages 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 specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
