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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Scottdale have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
