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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Gretna offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that many people 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 rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

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