Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Scranton, NC.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Scranton offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
