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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Elmwood offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
