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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Hercules have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
