Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Merrimack, NH.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Merrimack offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief 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 alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only receive short term rehab . People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
