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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Star offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
