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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Elmont offer intensive 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 rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
