Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Atkinson, IL.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Atkinson have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
