Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Christchurch, VA.

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

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

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with clients who only receive short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
