Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - South Lake Tahoe, CA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in South Lake Tahoe offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically 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 and alcohol rehab facility is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with clients who only receive short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
