Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Smith River, CA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Smith River have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
