Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Edison, NJ.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

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

Recidivism rates are higher with people who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
