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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Charlemont have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that many 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 rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
