Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Southwest, PA.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Southwest offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
