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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Milford offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. 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 higher with individuals who only go through short term treatment 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 program 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.
