Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - West Yarmouth, MA.

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in West Yarmouth have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab center is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
