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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Glenside offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that many clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
