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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Maurepas have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
