Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Island Heights, NJ.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Island Heights have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
