Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Mer Rouge, LA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Mer Rouge offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation center 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 fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
