Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Alberta, VA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab centers in Alberta offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short 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 program is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among individuals who only receive short term rehab . Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
