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

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

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Douglas have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab facility is that many people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
