Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lincolnton, NC.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Lincolnton offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
