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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Garrett offer 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 people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only go through 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 center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
