Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Highlands, NC.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Highlands offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short 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 substance abuse 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 timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only receive short term treatment . Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
