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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in West Wareham have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that many individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among people who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
