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

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

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in Fairfax have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab center is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
