Short Term drug and alcohol 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 rehab center. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who cannot endure long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Lynn offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling 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 rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that people may still be experiencing 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 rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
