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

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

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Ashland have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that many clients may still be in the initial phases 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 individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
