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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Salem have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
