Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Ashland, IL.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Ashland have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially 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 drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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