Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Norfolk, VA.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Norfolk have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
