Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Alamo, CA.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Alamo have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation . Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
