Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Alameda, CA.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Alameda offer intensive 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 rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that many individuals 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 physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with clients who only receive short term rehab . Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment center have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
