Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Bunker Hill, WV.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Bunker Hill have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling 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 go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that many people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
