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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Pennington have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab facility is that clients 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 completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
