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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Washington have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among clients who only get short term rehab . Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
