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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Edgewater have 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 individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
