Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and lasts from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Boston have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are greater with people who only receive short term rehabilitation . Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
