Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - New Canaan, CT.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in New Canaan offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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