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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Washington offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center 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.
