Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - San Quentin, CA.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab centers in San Quentin 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 people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many 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 timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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