Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - New Providence, PA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in New Providence have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that individuals 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 timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
