Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Locust Hill, VA.

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

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Locust Hill offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that people 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 rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
