Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and lasts from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Groton have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be in 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 rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are higher with people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
