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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in North Tonawanda offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
