Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Albany, KY.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Albany have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as 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 while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
