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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Dawson offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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