Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Irvington, VA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Irvington offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that many clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
