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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Sunnyvale offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals 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 alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
