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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Palmetto offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that many people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
