Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Carolina Beach, NC.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Carolina Beach have 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 clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab facility is that many clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among individuals who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase 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.
