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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Wexford offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases 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 timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among clients who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
