Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Andover, MA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in Andover offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab program is that people 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 fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among people who only go through short term rehabilitation . Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
