Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Greenfield Town, MA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

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

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term rehab . Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment center have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
