Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Markham, VA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in Markham offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab facility is that people 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 rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
