Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - New Windsor, NY.

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in New Windsor offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many individuals may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among people who only go through 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 program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
