Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Ballentine, SC.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Ballentine offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
