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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Greer have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
