Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - St. Pauls, NC.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in St. Pauls have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling 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 drug rehabilitation center is that 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 treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among individuals who only get short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility 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.
