Playa Del Rey, California - Residential Short-Term Rehabilitation (30 Days or Less)A residential short-term treatment (30 days or less) program supplies care 24 hours a day 7 days a week for an average of 30 days (or less) depending on the treatment center. The clients live at the rehab facility and are ensured a fully alcohol and drug-free environment for the duration of their recovery process. While in treatment they address their issues with drug and/or alcohol addiction while finding out how to go about their life without turning to drugs to solve their difficulties. When the individual has finished their residential short-term treatment, they generally continue their recovery process by going into outpatient treatment, attending meetings, therapy or counseling. Heavily addicted persons who have a long history of substance abuse will benefit from residing at a sober living home after they complete treatment. This will help them solidify their new found sobriety and give them strength and support.
