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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Alexander have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that many individuals 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 fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
