Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Athens, PA.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Athens offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab center is that people 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 rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among people who only receive short term rehabilitation . Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
