Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Ellerbe, NC.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

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

Relapse rates are understandably higher with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
