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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Paradise offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling 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 substance abuse rehabilitation center is that clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility 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.
