Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Tar Heel, NC.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option and for clients who can't commit to long-term treatment.

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

Recidivism rates are higher among clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center 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.
