Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Clearfield, PA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Clearfield offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief 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 substance abuse rehabilitation center is that many individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. 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.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
