Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Windsor, KY.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Windsor have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment 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. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center 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.
