Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Shelter Island Heights, NY.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Shelter Island Heights have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
