Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Weston, MA.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Weston offer intensive 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 people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that many people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
