Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Scotch Plains, NJ.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Scotch Plains offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab facility is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

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