Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Bowling Green, OH.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Bowling Green offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that clients may still be in the initial 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 individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
