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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Hume have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short 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 drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment 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.
