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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Elkhorn City have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed 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 phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
