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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Independence offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases 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 individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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