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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Rockland have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
