Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Virginia, IL.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Virginia have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab center is that 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 treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
