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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Upton offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab facility is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning 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 harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
