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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Merna have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
