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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab centers in Summit 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 go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
