Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - St. Francisville, LA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in St. Francisville offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that individuals may still be experiencing 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 clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
