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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Wattsville offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
