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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Free Union offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment 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. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program 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.
