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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
