Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - New Martinsville, WV.

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in New Martinsville offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
