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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Halifax offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that many people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab program have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
