Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Lincoln University, PA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Lincoln University have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, 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 clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only receive short term rehab . People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
