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

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Rexmont offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that individuals may still be in 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 harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
