Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - New Vernon, NJ.

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in New Vernon have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

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