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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Prairieville have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

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