Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Elk Creek, VA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab centers in Elk Creek offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among individuals who only go through short term rehab . Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
