Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - South Boston, VA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in South Boston have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
