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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab centers in Pennington offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that people may still be experiencing the initial 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 timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with clients who only receive short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
