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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option and for clients who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Phillipsburg offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation 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.
