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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Lexington 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 be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among clients who only get short term rehab . Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
