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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Riverside have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically 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 treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that many people 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 rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
