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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Westwood offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation 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 fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
