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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Columbus offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
