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

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Boxborough have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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