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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in Westfield have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that clients 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 specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
