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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Argyle have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
