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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Burgess have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation 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.
