Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Old Forge, PA.

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Old Forge have intensive 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 people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
