Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Andrews, NC.

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Andrews have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that many individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
