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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Petersburg offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
