Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Newton Highlands, MA.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Newton Highlands offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody 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. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
