Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Pax, WV.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Pax offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab program is that many people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment center have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
