Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Big Stone Gap, VA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Big Stone Gap have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
