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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Wilmington 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 people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among clients who only go through short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
