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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Machipongo offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial 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 physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
