Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Dracut, MA.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Dracut offer intensive 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 services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
