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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Gardner 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 people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that many clients 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 timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
