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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 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 individuals who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Sheffield have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that clients may still be in the initial stages 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 harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
