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

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Columbia have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only get short term treatment . Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center 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.
