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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Ballard have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that many people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment 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 higher among clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
