Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Council, NC.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Council have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that people may still be experiencing 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 more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among people who only get short term treatment . Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
