Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - North Fork, CA.

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in North Fork offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that many individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
