Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Ashland, MA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Ashland offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
