Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Mission, SD.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Mission have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that 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 people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
