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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Mahwah have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that individuals 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 harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
