Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Highland Park, NJ.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Highland Park offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short 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 substance abuse rehab center is that many people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
