Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Newburyport, MA.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Newburyport offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program 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 stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab program have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
