Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Buffalo, SD.

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Buffalo have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. 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 clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation 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.
