Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Lawrence, MA.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Lawrence offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
