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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option and for individuals who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Medford have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab center is that people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
