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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Georgetown offer intensive 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 treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
