Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - West Mclean, VA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in West Mclean have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that individuals 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 physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only get short term treatment . People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
