Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Old Fort, NC.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Old Fort offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
