Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Washingtonville, PA.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Washingtonville have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning 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 greater with individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
