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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in New Iberia offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with people who only get short term treatment 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 rehabilitation program at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
