Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Providence Forge, VA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in Providence Forge have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that clients may still be in the beginning phases 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 moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

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