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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Pittsfield have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than 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 and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
