Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Thorndike, MA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Thorndike have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
