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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Lockport offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that people may still be in the beginning phases 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 harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
