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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who cannot endure long-term rehab.

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

Recidivism rates are higher among people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
