Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Emporia, VA.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

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

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
