Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Shortt Gap, VA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehabilitation 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 substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Shortt Gap have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that clients may still be in 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 rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment 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.
