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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Descanso offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
