Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Dorchester, SC.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Dorchester have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
