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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Gueydan offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
