Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - St. Paul, OR.

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

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in St. Paul have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that many individuals may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
