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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Ashland have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
