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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Elmwood have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that many individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
