Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Rockbridge Baths, VA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Rockbridge Baths have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases 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 physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
