Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Westford, MA.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Westford have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that many individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
