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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because treatment 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 rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Stonington offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that clients 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 timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among people who only go through short term rehabilitation . Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
