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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab centers in Occidental have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
