Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Buffalo, WY.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Buffalo have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that many clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among people who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
