Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ashland, PA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Ashland offer 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 experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among clients who only receive short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
