Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Elizabeth, WV.

Short Term drug 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 treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Elizabeth have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that 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 rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
