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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Elkins have intensive 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 people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment 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 greater among clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
