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

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

Most short-term drug rehab centers in Andover offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center 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.
