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

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

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Chalmette offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling 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 experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that many people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

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