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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Marblehead offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term treatment . Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
