Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Boston, GA.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Boston offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many clients may still be in 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 specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
