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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Crestwood offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab facility is that clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse 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.
