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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Oakdale offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages 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 physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
