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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in North Washington offer intensive 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 individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
