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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Madison have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
