Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Potsdam, NY.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Potsdam have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with people who only receive short term rehab . Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
