Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - New Albany, OH.

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in New Albany offer 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 people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

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