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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who cannot endure long-term treatment.

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

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
