Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Elmhurst, NY.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

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

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