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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in West Stockbridge have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab facility have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
