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

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Westland offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many people may still be experiencing 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 specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
