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

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option and for clients who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Mahanoy City have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab facility is that individuals 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 rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program 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.
