Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Elkton, TN.

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

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Elkton have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
