Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Mechanicville, NY.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Mechanicville offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
