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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Bellingham offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages 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 physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only go through short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
