Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Sullivans Island, SC.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Sullivans Island offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that people 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 rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
