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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Mathews offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
