Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Bedford, VA.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Bedford offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that many 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 rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
