Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Old Bethpage, NY.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Old Bethpage have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among people who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
