Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Forest Hills, NY.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Forest Hills have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab program is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
