Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Universal City, CA.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Universal City offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification 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 phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
