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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Westport offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

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