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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

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

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