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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Littleton have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
