Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Palm Desert, CA.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Palm Desert have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only go through short term rehab . Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility 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.
