Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Acton, MA.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Acton offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
