Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Hershey, PA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Hershey have intensive 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 clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab facility is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
