Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Port Elizabeth, NJ.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Port Elizabeth offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially 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 rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
