Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Long Branch, NJ.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in Long Branch have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially 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 rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among clients who only get short term treatment . People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
