Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Mount Vernon, VA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

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

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation 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.
