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

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

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

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
