Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Essington, PA.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab centers in Essington have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that many individuals may still be experiencing 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 and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only go through short term rehab . People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
