Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Novato, CA.

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

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

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
