Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Alexandria, LA.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Alexandria have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only receive short term rehabilitation . Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
