Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Oak Bluffs, MA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

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

Recidivism rates are greater among individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
