Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - North Amherst, MA.

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in North Amherst have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only go through short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
