Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Lexington, IL.

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

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Lexington have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients 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 many people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
