Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - St. Helens, OR.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in St. Helens have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
