Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - East Point, KY.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in East Point have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
