Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Harpers Ferry, WV.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Harpers Ferry offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
