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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Fort Myer offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that clients 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 completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only go through short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
