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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option and for clients who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Chelmsford offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with clients who only go through short term rehabilitation . Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
