Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Elk, CA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment 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 drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Elk offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
