Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - St. Helens, KY.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in St. Helens have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition 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 progress in their new sober lifestyle.
