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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

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

Recidivism rates are greater among clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
