Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - South Lancaster, MA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in South Lancaster have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

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