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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Cliffside offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
