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

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
