Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - North Wales, PA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in North Wales offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
