Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Philadelphia, MO.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Philadelphia have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox 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 fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
