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

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

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

Relapse rates are greater with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
