Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Oak Park, IL.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Oak Park offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab program is that people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab program have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
