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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Creston offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
