Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Atlantic Highlands, NJ.

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

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Atlantic Highlands have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab program is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases 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 more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab 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.
