Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - North Chicago, IL.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in North Chicago offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only receive short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
