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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Spencer have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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