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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Riverhead have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
