Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - St. Paul, VA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in St. Paul offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment 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 substance abuse rehabilitation center is that individuals 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 more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation 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.
