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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Harborton 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 people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
