Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - West Long Branch, NJ.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in West Long Branch offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among people who only receive short term rehabilitation . Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
