Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - West St. Paul, MN.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in West St. Paul have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that many people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only get short term treatment . People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
