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

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

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Lawrence have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that many clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

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