Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Winchester, NH.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation 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 rehab facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Winchester offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
