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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Arrington offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients 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 people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
