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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in West Hills offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, 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 program is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
