Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Oak Lawn, IL.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Oak Lawn offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
