Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Oakland Gardens, NY.

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Oakland Gardens have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only get short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
