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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Milltown have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
