Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Wellington, KY.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Wellington have 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 clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many individuals may still be in the beginning stages 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 timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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