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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

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

Relapse rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
