Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Brookline, MA.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Brookline offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
