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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who can't endure long-term rehab.

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

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