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

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

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Polk offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that individuals may still be in the initial phases 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 more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
