Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - River Forest, IL.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab centers in River Forest offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term rehabilitation . Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
