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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Merrittstown have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center 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 rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
