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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Athol have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that many people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
