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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Townsend offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that many clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
