Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Islandia, NY.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Islandia have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that people 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 specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
