Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Scotia, SC.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Scotia offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that many people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
