Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Mendham, NJ.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Mendham offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
