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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in Kirkwood have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab program is that many clients may still be in the initial 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 people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
