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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option and for clients who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
