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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Columbus offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that many clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among people who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
