Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Dahlgren, VA.

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

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Dahlgren have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
