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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Etowah offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
