Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Altoona, PA.

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Altoona have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab center is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
