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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Angie offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
