Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Scranton, ND.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Scranton have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

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