Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Buzzards Bay, MA.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Buzzards Bay offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that people may still be in 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 rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
