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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Merry Point have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with people who only go through short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
