Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Atascadero, CA.

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 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 can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Atascadero offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
