Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Waterford, CT.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Waterford offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only get short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
