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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Smithfield offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab program 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 stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
