Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Sandy Ridge, NC.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Sandy Ridge have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that many clients 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 treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
