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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Cologne offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
