Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - St. Lawrence, SD.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in St. Lawrence offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
