Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Jamestown, VA.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Jamestown have 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 be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many individuals may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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