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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Ephrata offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab center is that many people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
