Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Gales Ferry, CT.

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

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Gales Ferry offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only go through short term treatment 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 treatment program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
