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

Short Term substance abuse rehab 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 program. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Welsh offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
