Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug rehab facilities in South St. Paul offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment 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 rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse 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 rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Recidivism rates are higher with clients who only receive short term rehab . Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
