Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Alcove, NY.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Alcove have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
