Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Elliottsburg, PA.

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Elliottsburg offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that people may still be experiencing the initial phases 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 specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
