Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Pottersdale, PA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Pottersdale offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
