Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Cape May, NJ.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Cape May offer 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 be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that many people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater 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 intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
