Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Buckingham, VA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Buckingham have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
