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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Augusta Springs have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially 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 treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be in the initial 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 clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
