Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Advent, WV.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Advent have 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 go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
