Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Railroad, PA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

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

Recidivism rates are higher with clients who only receive short term treatment 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 center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
