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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Columbus have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
