Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Knoxville, MD.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Knoxville have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling 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 go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many individuals 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 more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
