Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Ellwood City, PA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab centers in Ellwood City 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 individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab program is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
