Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Lowber, PA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
