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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in El Centro offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab 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 timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
