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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in El Cajon offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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