Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Ashland, WI.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Ashland have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
