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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Watertown offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that clients may still be experiencing the initial 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 people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
