Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - West Chester, PA.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in West Chester have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
