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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Irvington offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among clients who only receive short term rehabilitation . Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
