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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Malaga offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that many clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
