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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab centers in Severn offer 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 individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages 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 specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
