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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Whittier have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
