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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Mercer have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program 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 completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
