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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
