Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Slate Run, PA.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
