Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Cranberry Township, PA.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Cranberry Township have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
