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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Lexington offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
