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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Selma offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab program is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
