Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Ellington, CT.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot endure long-term treatment.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
