Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Prince George, VA.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Prince George offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
