Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - San Anselmo, CA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in San Anselmo offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that many individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
