Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - North Carrollton, MS.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in North Carrollton offer 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 clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning phases 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 specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
