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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used for addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

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

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