Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Ashland, KS.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Ashland offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
