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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Petersburg have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with individuals who only get short term rehabilitation . Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
