Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Severn, NC.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Severn have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab facility is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
