Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - La Mesa, CA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in La Mesa offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation . Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
