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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Elk Garden have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
