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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Monroeville have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
