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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Glenshaw 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 be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
