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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Shelby have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that many people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
