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

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 an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Greenlawn offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that clients 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 completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
