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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab centers in West Cornwall offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning stages 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 individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
