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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Elliott offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
