Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Port Costa, CA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Port Costa offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
