Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Sandy Springs, SC.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Sandy Springs offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially 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 treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with people 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 treatment center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
