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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Spearfish have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among people who only receive 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 rehabilitation facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
