Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Athol, KY.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Athol offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation . Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
