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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Saxis have intensive 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 services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

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