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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Burlington have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that clients may still be in the initial phases 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 timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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