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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Big Sur have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
