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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Palestine have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that many people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
