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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Charleston have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only go through short term treatment . People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
