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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Clifton have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
