Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Berkeley Heights, NJ.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Berkeley Heights have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals 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 many individuals 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 fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
