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

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

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Gastonville have intensive 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 people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among individuals who only receive 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 rehabilitation center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
