Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - River Edge, NJ.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in River Edge have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center 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 treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
