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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

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

Relapse rates are greater with clients who only receive short term rehabilitation . Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
