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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term treatment.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with people who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
