Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Winthrop, MN.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Winthrop 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 people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that many individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
