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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Athens have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that many 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 treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
