Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Pen Argyl, PA.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Pen Argyl offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
