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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation 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 rehabilitation programs in Whitewood have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
