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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Petroleum offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment 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. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that many 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 completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among individuals who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
