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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Waltham have 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 clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
