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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Gretna offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with people who only get short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
