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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 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 clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Howard offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab facility is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

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