Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Patrick Springs, VA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Patrick Springs offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab facility is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among people who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
