Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Amherst, VA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Amherst have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
