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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Petersburg have 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 be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab program is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
