Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Mendocino, CA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Mendocino offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially 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 rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center 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.
