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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Houma have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that many people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients 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.
