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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in West Groton have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that clients 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 fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation 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 maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
