Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Dawson Springs, KY.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Dawson Springs have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
