Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Cambridge, MA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

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

Relapse rates are understandably higher with individuals who only get short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
