Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Washington, NJ.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

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

Relapse rates are understandably higher among clients who only receive short term rehab . Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
