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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Unionville have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
