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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Alton have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that many people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation 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 among individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
