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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Lancaster offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that clients may still be experiencing 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 timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
