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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Hempstead offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that individuals may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
