Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Whittier, CA.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Whittier have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
