Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Edgewood, KY.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Edgewood offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility 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.
