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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Stephensport offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
