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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Tobyhanna 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 go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab center is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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