Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Rockport, MA.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Rockport offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation 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 detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center 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.
