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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Forestville have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab program is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases 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 moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
