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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Massapequa have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
