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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Hopkinton offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab facility is that people 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 rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
