Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - North Bergen, NJ.

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

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in North Bergen have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among individuals who only get short term rehab . People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
