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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Mahaffey have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder 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 rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
