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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Lakewood have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that many clients 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 more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
