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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   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 individuals who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Gainesville have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling 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 services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that many people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
