Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Elizabeth, NJ.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Elizabeth have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that people 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 rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only get short term rehabilitation 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 treatment program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
