Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Athens, WV.

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Athens have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial 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 specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
