Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Petersham, MA.

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

Most short-term drug rehab centers in Petersham offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab program is that people 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 completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

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