Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Hot Springs, VA.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Hot Springs offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that many individuals may still be in the beginning 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 timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
