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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Freeland have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
