Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - St. Stephen, MN.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in St. Stephen have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that people may still be in the beginning 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 harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
