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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Forest City have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
