Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Palos Verdes Estates, CA.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Palos Verdes Estates have 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 individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
