Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Edisto Island, SC.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Edisto Island offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling 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 experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
