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

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Mechanicsville have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that 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 treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
