Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - St. John, ND.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in St. John have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially 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 and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that clients may still be experiencing the initial 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 people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
