Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Petersburg, OH.

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

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Petersburg offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only get short term treatment . Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
