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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in New London have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling 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 experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab center is that clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center 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.
