Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Absecon, NJ.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Absecon have intensive 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 go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab facility is that clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab 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.
