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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who can't commit to long-term treatment.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
