Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Emmaus, PA.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Emmaus have 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 be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are 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 outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility 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.
