Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - La Crescenta, CA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

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

Relapse rates are greater among clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
