Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Tamassee, SC.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
