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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Elgin have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment 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.
