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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Elmira have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
