Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - New Bern, NC.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in New Bern have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that many people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
