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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Wake have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab facility is that individuals 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 clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only receive short term rehabilitation . Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility 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.
