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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Lewisport offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with people who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
