Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Arlington, IL.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Arlington have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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