Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - North Dartmouth, MA.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in North Dartmouth have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that many clients may still be in the beginning 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 specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with people who only go through short term rehab . People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
