Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Avery Island, LA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Avery Island have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many people 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 treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
