Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - St. Johns, PA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in St. Johns offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab center is that many clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. 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.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only go through short term rehab . Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
