Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Halifax, MA.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Halifax offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
