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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Franklintown have 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 be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
