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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Elmira offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab center is that many people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
