Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - West Portsmouth, OH.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in West Portsmouth have intensive 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 individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
