Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - New Freeport, PA.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in New Freeport offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
