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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Walker offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that clients 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 completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
