Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - St. Boniface, PA.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

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

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