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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Westminster have intensive 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 clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab center is that people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
