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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in Patterson offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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