Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - St. Thomas, PA.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

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

Relapse rates are greater among clients who only go through short term treatment . People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
