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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab program have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
