Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Plymouth, CT.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't commit to long-term treatment.

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

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
