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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Lincoln offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab program is that many clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment 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.
