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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Whitman offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
