Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Brooklyn, MD.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Brooklyn 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 people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab center is that many people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
