Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - West Medford, MA.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in West Medford have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
