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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Unionville have 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 clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

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