Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - St. Michael, MN.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in St. Michael have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
