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

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who can't endure long-term treatment.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
