Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Adirondack, NY.

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Adirondack offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
