Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Mission Hills, CA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
