Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Augusta, KY.

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Augusta have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
