Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - St. Paul, NE.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

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

Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
